THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 195 



fuscous below, black at middle, and stained with reddish above ; antennae 

 dentate, with two slender spines, quite long, from each segment, ochre 

 brown, ringed with black ; thorax ochre brown, mixed with blackish ; 

 abdomen ochre brown, the segments lined with black. Fore wings 

 ochre brown, somewhat marked wath black ; basal line indeterminate, 

 two outer lines quite oblique, wavy jagged, detinite only on posterior 

 half of wing, and anteriorly shown by venular spots ; an outer 

 submarginal line of black intervenular spots, this followed by a second 

 quite indeterminate ; black, large, rounded discal spot, and a marginal 

 row of intervenular black spots ; hind wings colour of fore wings, 

 with seven blackish cross lines, the fifth from base being finer, more 

 distinct, and more irregular than the others, which are quite even and 

 subparallel ; discal spot black, rather large, with a whitish lunule within ; 

 marginal line black, of scarcely confluent marks, each with an inner 

 white edging. Beneath very much as above, but with a strong reddish 

 tinge, the lines less distinct, and with an outer row of black spots on 

 both wings. The wings above have scattered, pedicellate, upright 

 scales, black at ends, and generally white on lower half; these form 

 a distinct tuft at the discal spots on all wings above.
